Explorer Belt

The Scouting Ireland Explorer Belt is the challenge of a lifetime and a chance to undertake an international expedition over ten days that brings a real understanding of a different country, its culture, people, and way of life. The event is designed to help Rover Scouts develop an understanding of a different culture working in a small team to complete a series of projects and challenges while undertaking an international expedition that brings a real understanding of a different country their people and way of life.

It is designed to help Rover Scouts develop this understanding of another country by traveling through that country, working as a small team to complete a series of projects, and, most importantly, by meeting local people.

The basic elements of the Scouting Ireland Explorer Belt are:

• Ten days covering a minimum of 200km on foot through countryside, towns, and villages.
• Living on a limited budget.
• Keeping and submitting a log of your journey and experiences
• Completing and submitting several projects assigned to you by the Team.

Teams will be dropped off at an undisclosed location and only then provided with your end destination. The ten-day expedition will culminate with teams meeting at base camp. An assessment team will assess the work which the teams have submitted and will meet the teams over several days to determine the criteria of ‘The Explorer Belt Award’ has been met and awards will be presented before leaving basecamp.

The event is for teams of two. You can sign up as a team or as an individual and every effort will be made by the Explorer Belt team to help you find a partner.

The World Scout Moot is an event Rovers and other young adult members, gathering up to 5,000 people. Moots provide an opportunity for young adults in Scouting to meet, with the objective of improving their international understanding as citizens of the world.

World Scout Moot

The second half is where all the participants come together in a jamboree-style gathering!

Moots are held every four years and are hosted in different countries around the world Participants must be 18–25 years old at the time of the event.
